Renovations

Old houses, held to new tolerances.

Whole-home renovations, extensions, and complete interior rebuilds across Toronto — the kind of work where the existing building has opinions and the drawings still have to win.

The Work

Renovation is where a builder’s reading of the drawings is tested hardest. A century home is rarely square, never quite as the survey says, and full of decisions someone made ninety years ago. Building a precise, modern interior inside that fabric — and marrying an extension to it so the seam disappears — is a different discipline from new construction, and it is most of what we do.

Recent renovations include Junction House, a Victorian renovated top to bottom with a rear extension and a white oak stair that runs the height of the house, and Forest Hill, a whole-home renovation that ran from the entry vestibule to a lower-level home theatre.

Both were built with Denegri Bessai Studio, drawings in hand, in occupied neighbourhoods where a clean site and a predictable schedule are part of the specification.

What We Take On
  1. Whole-home renovations

    Complete interior rebuilds — kitchens, primary suites, bathrooms, millwork — carried to one finish standard from the front door down.

  2. Extensions & additions

    Rear and side extensions detailed so the new work and the old house read as one building, inside and out.

  3. Victorian & heritage fabric

    Structural corrections, insulation and envelope work, and modern systems threaded through old walls without losing what makes the house worth keeping.

  4. Architect-designed interiors

    Stairs, built-ins, and custom millwork executed to the drawing — the work most renovators quote around and we quote for.
